Paris Aquarium


To cap off our trip we stopped at the aquarium. Matthew was the only one brave enough to touch a "Mr. Ray"

Merry Christmas!




Disneyland

We spent Christmas day at Disneyland ParisThe "Zurg" ride is still our favorite. Matthew rode it 5 times. Andrew and Brooke only 3 because they are now tall enough (with boots and hats) to get by the guards at Star Tours.

Some of our favorite characters
During the parade the kids even took a break from their candy to shout "thank you for my toys!" to SantaWe stayed until the park closed at 10:00pm, by which time we had four happy kids, asleep in the stroller.

Christmas

We got a small tree in Switzerland as well. Being too cheap to buy a tree stand just for the two weeks we were there, we improvised with a ski boot.

Santa found us just fine, despite our travels.

Skiing


Still not quite ready for the world cup. Brooke is still more interested in eating snow, and Andrew loves falling in the snow, which makes it challenging to get down a run.

Lounging


In addition to sledding, skiing, shopping, visiting friends, etc., we spent plenty of time lounging in PJs (or less). Many thanks to Talmadge and Jess for allowing us to stay at Chateau Price!

Christmas Market


One of our favorite Christmas traditions in Switzerland / Germany are the markets. At minus 8 degrees C we didn't last long, but still enjoyed it.

Sledding


Our favorite sledding hill on the Albis pass. The sledding alone made the trip to Switzerland worth the effort.

Smiling


Will, now 3 months old is fully capable of smiling.

Long Day


Long day playing in the snow. More of the same tomorrow, why bother with PJs?

Mommy Brooke


Brooke loves Will. She is always caring for him, holding his hands, talking to him, etc. She even reprimands him when he sucks on his hands. Not because she doesn't want him to form habits, but because she wants him to always use her thumb as a pacifier.
